Round 12: Darryl and Marriah

Last week in Daryl and Marriah's house the couple had a quiet week like they hadn't experiened since the birth of their daughters. They had a date at Londoste and celebrated their golden anniversary with their closest friends and family.

The start of this week brings Cosette and Elise back home, both graduating from University. With their arrival, Daryl acchieves perma plat status by reaching his LTW of graduating three children from college.

The first thing on both girl's agendas is to have their boyfriends over to meet their parents. Elise plans to stay with her parents, carrying on the family name in the family home. Cosette, on the other hand is much more of a free spirit and can hardly wait for her chance to get a place of her own.

Just before Rob and Elise's wedding, Franz Cedar (Cosette's boyfriend) had found the courage to ask Daryl for his youngest daughters hand in marraige.

Of course Daryl approved, Franz was an impressive young man with an established military career. He couldn't have picked a better one for Cosette if he had done it himself. Not wanting the poor kid to sweat, Daryl immediately concured.

And though it took him a day or two to come around and find the courage to actually ask Cosette, Franz finally popped the question and she said yes!

...and had barely had the rings on their fingers and their "I do's" said when they were off to their honeymoon and then moved into a home of their own on the Island. We will catch up with these two in the Cedar family update making a first appearance later in this round.
******************
Rob and Elise decided to forgo their honeymoon due to Elise feeling a little under the weather. You see, after getting engaged, these two had been rather excited to start their lives together...

...resulting in Elise being pregnant with the couple's first child. The pregnancy was confirmed not long after the wedding.

Though Elsie couldn't yet get a job, Rob went right to work on his LTW in the athletic career field.

It wasn't that Elise wasn't dying to get out there and use her newly recieved degree, it would just be a short time before she could get out into the job market.

Not wanting to miss a minute of his new grandchildren's lives, and also so Elise could begin her job hunt, Daryl decided it was time for him to retire. He was getting to old to be a professional party guest anyhow.
******************
